THE LIGHTERAGE CO.'S KICK.
It's Protest Against Being Required to
Cover it's Vessels

It's Protest Against Being Required to
Cover it's Vessels.
President Smith of the Savannah Lighter
age and Transportation Company, submit
ted a protest to the City Council last night
against the ordinance passed two weeks ago
requiring that cotton and naval stores be
lightered only under cover
The ordinance, Capt. Smith stated, is
contrary TO the established usage and to the
custom IF transporting cotton on all inland
waters, and that it can be clearly shown
that no connection exists between the fires
on foreign steamships and on lighters. In
proof of his statement he said that there
have been no fires at any of the presses,
although lighters are constantly delivering
and receiving cotton there, that most
Of the cotton shipped on coastwise steam
ships is taken from lighters and that no
fires have occurred on board coastwise yes
sells, and further, that no lighter
fires have occurred while cotton is
being transported. These facts. and the
further fact that cotton at all of the presses,
on the wharves and at the depot yards and
warehouses is left uncovered Capt. Smith
said are plain to all.
10 regard to naval stores, no fires, he said,
have ever occurred on lighters, on the
wharves or on board any vessel The
lighterage interest, he added, has been sin
gled out as victim for penalty which is
equally as essential for the protection of
other interests He asked the Council to
reconsider its action and repeal the ordin-
snce. The matter was referred without
discussion TO the Committee on Harbor and
Waarves, and VIII be reported upon at a
future meeting

Work in Half an Hour.

The City Council crept out of its star
chamber a few minutes before 10 o'clock

the street department were considered.
An ordinance was introduced amending
the one passed two years ago granting the
Central railroad the right to extend its
tracks across the city along the river front,
by extending the time in which the work

Another ordinance was introduced grant
ing McDonough q Co., permission to lay

Cable Street Cars.

There was rumor afloat a few days age
that this new street railway which is to 60
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway This would probably
cost more money in the start, but would
prove more profitable in the long rum as SO
many more trips could be made in day,
and parties having important business to at
tend to at the Central railroad wharf, could
get there in a very little time. just the
same at Appel & Schaul's, the One Price
Clothiers it takes you no time to get an
outfit at their establishment, as every arti-
Gle is marked in plain figures with the lowest
price to all on same, thus saving an hour or
two argument on the price, etc.
Their plan of doing business is sufficient
for those that are not judges of goods to buy
with confidence, knowing their friends do
not buy the same goods for less money, and
those that are Judges are invited to call and
inspect prices TO convince themselves. Their
fall and winter stock has been received, and
are ready for inspection-163 Congress
